Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge #28!

So to keep with my current theme of "life has been a bit challenging as of late" my camera has decided to be cranky and the card that I was going to post is currently not available... But I do have a large stash of cards that I haven't posted yet that I made for some recent workshops!

As always Michelle and Darla of AHSC created a super cute sketch for us to work with and while this card doesn't follow the sketch exactly it is in a similar style.

This card was created using the "Quick Cards - Bright All Night" Stamp (which can be found in the Hostess Rewards Stamp Set section of your Autumn/Winter Idea Book.) Other materials I used were White Daisy and Twilight Cardstock, Twilight and Cranberry Ink, Cranberry Twine,Stardust Glitz Glitter Gel, a piece of scrap ribbon and a bling button from my stash.

I love the Quick Card stamp sets because they are just that, quick! To make this card, I stamped the image and then corner rounded the white daisy cardstock and sponge inked the edges in Cranberry ink. I then heavily sanded the Twilight cardstock using my sanding block. After I put the card together, I then used the Stardust Glitz on the trees and some of the snowflakes for accent. Unfortunately it is hard to see in the picture but on the trees, after I applied the glitz gel I then used the tip of my piercing tool to drag the glitter onto the branches to make "snow" on the boughs.

Whew! November was a blur of Christmas Card Workshops, Home Parties, and a Card Buffet! I'm a little tired but do have plans for a few card buffets and other crafty fun this month. A couple of cards that I created for the recent card buffet turned out super cute and use a mix of old and new product! Love when I can do that.

This "stag" card features the awesome green buffalo plaid paper from the current Beary Christmas Paper Packet and the stag is from Cricut Artistry but the rest is retired CTMH products from my stash! The stamp is from last year and is called D1694 Very Merry Holiday if you are able to find one for sale online grab it! You will not be disappointed the whole stamp set is awesome and I will be using mine for years to come. As mentioned the stag is from Cricut Artistry and I cut it out in white daisy cardstock and chocolate cardstock (retired) and the leaves are from Cricut Flower Market in Fern.
The design for this card comes from the Close to My …

Hello, my friends! My apologies for being a little MIA the past several weeks but when you have too much going on something always falls through the cracks! BUT school is back in which means way more crafting time for me!

This weeks sketch from Atlantic Hearts is up and I decided to play with a little more of the Jack Paper Collection, it recently retired and that is a real shame because I love these papers! I am working on my annual Christmas Card workshops and decided to have a little fun with the bearded man papers... I give you "Warm Wishes and Mistletoe Kisses".
Sometimes going a little outside the box can be so much fun and I really hope my workshop attendees love this card as much as I do. To create the card I used Slate Cardstock for my base and added the " Bearded Men in Hats". To add a bit more whimsy the mustache border is from Cricut Artistry and the branches for my mistletoe is from Cricut Flower Market cut out in New England Ivy and Fern cardstocks…
